How much was the rough estimate for a full spray?

I honestly don't see the problem. All the street machines / show cars are resprayed, so why not a skyline?

If it's quality, it will show.

I get mates rates so it's just materials for me, around 4-5k was his guess.

He said a proper costed job would be easily 10k+

I'm going to sit on it and see if I can get a Gunmetal Vspec II as I want that colour and interior combo.

How many people actually check the paint codes, enthusiasts, maybe most, general punters, not many I wouldn't think.

And after registering the colour change with the DMT/RTA/BOATSANDCARSANDSTUFF the car will be registered as at new colour.

I would buy a resprayed car if it was the colour and modified the way I wanted, after I had a accident check done and climbed around under the car checking rails and such of course.

I've seen a lot of older cars (big dollar old steel bumper cars) which have had a colour change done properly and you cannot tell (unless you look at the codes on the plate) you do need to strip the car to a bare shell but in the end if you get a good (read proper) job done you would never know.

And really, we are not talking about a $???,??? classic cars.

I agree with the comments about the price dropping, over the next 5 to 10 years fairly substantially too, just like the 32 and 33 did.

As for the 32,33 ,34 variants, Its really about the body shape you want in the end, you are going to be looking at it in your garage.

For me, a white 32 with a 33 - 34 powertrain/interior would be nice to look at in my garage.

Good luck with your hunting.

I am biased to the 34 but heres my 2 cents; if you can, find a really clean original car with maybe some quality stage 1 mods. Then build on that, enjoying each and every subtle improvement that you make. Dont change too much at once. The Nissan OEM parts are good so don't waste money on anything that you don't need. Drive it lots and never sell it, ever, or you will regret it one day.

BNR34 is the last RB and true manual GTR its a 100% guaranteed future classic collectable.

    • Waaay ahead of ya....(evil laugh!!) Will show the fitment and spec details later when it isnt as rainy !
    • Thanks Dose.....    I appreciate it!!
    • I'll probably be putting the shit box back on the dyno again soon, I want to dial in the closed loop boost control properly. I'll have a camera facing the car/motor for fun too. Just note, there are essentially 3x 10AN inlets going into the catch can and 1x going back to the intake pipe. Most of the time the catch can "return" to the sump actually is the crank case breather, pushing air out.
    • I have the R3C with a Nismo slave and by no means does it behave like a stocker, it ain’t THAT bad. On take off just give a bit more throttle than you would say a coppermix and it’s fine. It will not slip though.   
    • Okay. Final round of testing done. Got a friend to hook up a fancy scanner to the car and we also ran some compression and leakdown tests, she is healthy.  The MAF was definitely the culprit. So for future reference anyone with similar issues that find this thread. I suggest the following steps, in order of affordability:   Check your spark plugs for any fouling, replace plugs if they are bad or re adjust the gaps making it narrower (0.8mm would be good). Check every coil's resistance with a multimeter. It can be done by probing the IB and G pins on the coil pack. Resistance should be around 1.4 (+/- 0.1) Ohms Check the MAF. If you have Nissan connect or a good scanner with the 14 adapter it should allow you to see the voltage on the MAF reading should be around 1.1 - 1.2V when car is idling. But if you don't, buy a new MAF from Amazon and test, then return it. (For instance, I got a Chinese one for $40 that was reporting 1.3v on idle). If you still have scanner, you can run tests on the injectors to see if they are working, just remember to unplug the fuel pump fuse/relay and have no pressure on the line. Then listen for the noises that the injectors make. Clean/replace injectors as needed. Once you find the issue and fix, order thousands of dollars worth of OEM parts to refresh unrelated things (Optional)   PS: Thanks to the absolute legends of this forum for the responses and help to someone that went a bit over their head.
